ARANCIATA YOU GLAD I DIDNT SAY BANANA

The three artists have decided that the show should be a single task, and as specific, literally and figuratively, as possible: “Make an orange”.

When deeply pointless, assignments sometimes deliver pay-offs when you least expect them. Seen against earlier impulses in Bluechel’s work towards directive artwork, such as commissioning paintings with strict parameters by untrained artists, the invitation can be assumed to be both a cognitive irritant and subversive gift.

Directions allow for the ‘hand’ to function not through physical abundance but rather through psychological diversity.
